The Obligatory What Have You Been Doing? Entry

Okay, I know I've been a little remiss in posting here, but carrying 23 credits keeps me a bit busy at times. I am, happily, managing a 4.0 thus far in the term in all classes, and finals are less than a month away. Let's hope I can maintain the grades.

I went through various registration hoops this week and have more to do tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. The Developmental Psychology class I needed filled up with only two days of priority registration, so I was a bit frustrated by that. It's a "point class" for the RN program; hopefully I can grab it this summer.

On the brighter side, I did manage to get into both Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology for Spring term. It means going to more than one college, however, and commuting several days a week. I'll post the details once I know if I can grab a different micro class at a third college (hence the 7:00 a.m. registration tomorrow), which would cut my commute days down from 6 days (and 600 miles) a week to only 3/300. More on that once my schedule gels.

In other news, I've had a recent spate of interest in what I do for a living from some of my classmates (Hi Todd! Hi Beth!), and an increasing interest from non-classmates about how school is going. I've been reluctant to post a lot of non-writing blog entries, mostly because this site generally focuses on my profession, not my life in general. But if I can find the time to do so, I'll try to be a little more consistent in my updates, even if they're mostly centered on my recent academic adventures.

And so, now that everyone is caught up (You are caught up, aren't you? Todd, are you listening?) I'm hitting the books again. I have another EMT test tomorrow night and three chapters to read (Neurologic Emergencies, the Acute Abdomen and ALOC and Diabetes), and only a few hours to do so. Tomorrow I need to register online at 7:00 a.m., meet the local head of the math department to see about being a tutor next term, drive 50 miles to take 6 hours of CNA training, drive 100 miles to take EMT lectures, take the aforementioned test, then drive home and try to be asleep before midnight.

See? I told you I was busy...
